Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Journal of Imaging welcomes submissions to a feature issue on “Digital holography: Development and Application.” Digital holography, whose foundations were laid in the 20th century, has adapted and evolved into a remarkable area of research during the past few decades. The advancements in the area of signal processing, computers, computational optics, and deep learning have led to the conversion of the bulky, heavy and slow digital holographic imagers into compact, lightweight and faster ones. Consequently, digital holography has revolutionized the area of imaging and has become one of the most widely applied technologies in countless imaging systems. The principle of digital holography has been applied in data storage, 3D displays and also art.

There have been many useful Special Issues on the topic of digital holography published across various journals, and what makes this Special Issue different is that this Special Issue offers a wide scope, covering all the areas of digital holography, and also includes different types of submissions such as research, tutorials, perspectives and review articles. In addition, the Special Issue will consist of roadmap articles on incoherent imaging technologies, holographic display technologies and holographic tomography covering the latest developments, current state-of-the-art methods, challenges and future perspectives. Please contact the guest editors if you are interested in contributing to the roadmap articles on the above topics.

The Special Issue covers all the areas of digital holography including, but not limited to, incoherent imaging, Fresnel incoherent correlation holography (FINCH), optical scanning holography, coded aperture imaging, compressive sensing, holographic display technologies, fluorescence microscopy, optical instrumentation, computational optics, deep learning, computer generated holography, biomedical imaging, holographic tomography, synthetic aperture imaging, quantitative phase imaging, spectral imaging, imaging through scattering layers and turbid media, holographic optical elements, ghost imaging, metrology, 3D imaging, polarization holography and ultrafast holographic imaging technologies.

Digital holography is well adapted to measure any modifications related to any objects. The method refers to digital holographic interferometry where the phase change between two states of the object is of interest. However, the phase images are corrupted by the speckle decorrelation noise. In this paper, we address the question of de-noising in holographic interferometry when phase data are polluted with speckle noise. We present a new database of phase fringe images for the evaluation of de-noising algorithms in digital holography. In this database, the simulated phase maps present characteristics such as the size of the speckle grains and the noise level of the fringes, which can be controlled by the generation process. Deep neural network architectures are trained with sets of phase maps having differentiated parameters according to the features. The performances of the new models are evaluated with a set of test fringe patterns whose characteristics are representative of severe conditions in terms of input SNR and speckle grain size. For this, four metrics are considered, which are the PSNR, the phase error, the perceived quality index and the peak-to-valley ratio. Results demonstrate that the models trained with phase maps with a diversity of noise characteristics lead to improving their efficiency, their robustness and their generality on phase maps with severe noise.

Ince–Gaussian beams, defined as a solution to a wave equation in elliptical coordinates, have shown great advantages in applications such as optical communication, optical trapping and optical computation. However, to ingress these applications, a compact and scalable method for generating these beams is required. Here, we present a simple method that satisfies the above requirement, and is capable of generating arbitrary Ince–Gaussian beams and their superposed states through a computer-generated hologram of size 1 mm2, fabricated on an azocarbazole polymer film. Other structural beams that can be derived from the Ince–Gaussian beam were also successfully generated by changing the elliptical parameters of the Ince–Gaussian beam. The orthogonality relations between different Ince–Gaussian modes were investigated in order to verify applicability in an optical communication regime. The complete python source code for computing the Ince–Gaussian beams and their holograms are also provided. Full article

In this paper, we detail a phase-shift implementation in a rotated plane-parallel plate (PPP). Considering the phase-shifting digital holography application, we provide a more precise phase-shift estimation based on PPP thickness, rotation, and mutual inclination of reference and object wavefronts. We show that phase retardation uncertainty implemented by the rotated PPP in a simple configuration is less than the uncertainty of a traditionally used piezoelectric translator. Physical experiments on a phase test target verify the high quality of phase reconstruction. Full article

We report on the application of time-resolved inline digital holography in the study of the nonlinear optical properties of quantum dots deposited onto sample glass. The Fresnel diffraction patterns of the probe pulse due to noncollinear degenerate phase modulation induced by a femtosecond pump pulse were extracted from the set of inline digital holograms and analyzed. The absolute values of the nonlinear refractive index of both the sample glass substrate and the deposited layer of quantum dots were evaluated using the proposed technique. To characterize the inhomogeneous distribution of the samples’ nonlinear optical properties, we proposed plotting an optical nonlinearity map calculated as a local standard deviation of the diffraction pattern intensities induced by noncollinear degenerate phase modulation.

Digital phase-stepping shearography is a speckle interferometric technique that uses laser speckles to generate the phase map of the displacement derivatives of a stressed object, and hence can map the stresses of a deformed object directly. Conventional digital phase-stepping shearography relies on the use of video cameras of relatively lower resolution, in the order of 5 megapixels or lower, operating at a video rate. In the present work, we propose a novel method of performing high spatial resolution phase stepping shearography. This method uses a 24 megapixel still digital imaging device (DSLR camera) and a Michelson-type shearing arrangement with an edge-clamped, center-loaded plate. Different phase-stepping algorithms were used, and all successfully generated shearograms. The system enabled extremely high-resolution phase maps to be generated from relatively large deformations applied to the test plate. Quantitative comparison of the maximum achieved spatial resolution is made with the video-rate cameras used in conventional shearography. By switching from conventional (video) imaging methods to still imaging methods, significantly higher spatial resolution (by about 5 times) can be achieved in actual phase-stepping shearography, which is of great usefulness in industrial non-destructive testing (NDT).

Holographic interferometry is a well-established field of science and optical engineering. It has a half-century history of successful implementation as the solution to numerous technical tasks and problems. However, fast progress in digital and computer holography has promoted it to a new level of possibilities and has opened brand new fields of its application. In this review paper, we consider some such new techniques and applications. Full article
